Digital transformation at what cost? A case study from Germany estimating the adoption potential of precision farming technologies under different scenarios by Johannes Munz, Ines Maurmann, Heinrich Schuele, Reiner Doluschitz

“…Findings confirm low adoption rates, peaking at 4.61 % for automatic guidance and 17.73 % for site-specific fertilization, highlighting that current strategies are only partially effective, especially for precision weeding, site-specific seeding, planting, and spraying. Fortunately, targeted interventions for less adopted PATs enhance average farm income, which may increase their broader acceptance. …”

Unlocking global carbon reduction potential by embracing low-carbon lifestyles by Yuru Guan, Yuli Shan, Ye Hang, Qingyun Nie, Yu Liu, Klaus Hubacek

“…Here, we quantify the greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential of 21 low-carbon expenditures using a global multi-regional input-output model linked with detailed household expenditure data. Targeting households exceeding the global per-capita average required to stay below 2 degrees, our model captures changes in direct energy use, household consumption and upstream intermediate industrial inputs. …”
